"Numerous clinical studies". Really? How many of them measured Ferritin?
[edit]And how many studies compared iron polymaltose to iron bisglycinate?

There was a 10-fold error in Ferritin in a study referenced
[edit]I made the correction to Wikipedia, but the error is still in PubMed! I don't know how to request a correction to PubMed.
Wrong Ferritin level here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21859366
"Mean serum ferritin at day 90 was 179 (38) ng/mL and 157 (34) ng/mL with iron(III) polymaltose complex and ferrous sulfate, respectively (p = 0.014)".
Should have been: "Mean serum ferritin at day 90 was 17.9 (standard deviation 3.8) ng/mL and 15.7 (3.4) ng/mL with iron(III) polymaltose complex and ferrous sulfate, respectively (p = 0.014)".
Correct Ferritin level here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/14767058.2012.649910
"Erratum: Ferritin at 90 days was 17.9 nm/mL and 15.7 ng/mL".
And why did they not calculate 95% Confidence Interval?
The lead author of the study, Ortiz, has never published any other iron research, so I highly doubt quality of the whole study. And who was the study sponsor, was it the Maltofer(R) company? I can't check as I have no access to full text!

Use of technical abbreviations
[edit]The Excipients section uses a lot of abbreviations which is in the first instance not great re: MOS:ABBR. But even with those expanded I would suspect the section would continue to be nonsense to even a semi technical audience as they look like they may be latin. Could someone that knows what those mean adjust them so they can be understood by non-experts? Ta. --Xurizuri (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
